Design Services:   Design services include, but are not limited to, client meetings, space renderings, evaluating project resources, sourcing furniture and accessories, working with outside vendors, and more.  Each design project has a contract based on the client’s desired outcomes.  For additional information about our design services, please contact us at (919) 599-8496.

 

Professional Organizing:  $75 per hour, with a 3 hour booking minimum ($225).  Travel costs for areas over 25 miles from Durham are $35 (flat-rate).  Read on for additional information.

Is there an initial consultation?

Yes.  We schedule a free phone meeting to discuss your project goals and assess how we can work together.  We then schedule an on-site working session, which will usually last three hours.  At that point we can create an action plan based on your desired outcomes.

Do you do the organizing for me or do we work together?

We offer three levels of service:

  • Side-by-Side Service – This is where we work alongside our clients to help them achieve their goals.  We come with our sleeves rolled up, prepared to be there every step of the way.  We think of this as the “Personal Trainer” approach.
  • Start, Release, Return – This is where we begin together, then after outlining an action plan, you carry out the steps on your own.  Once you’ve reached a good place, we can return to provide maintenance suggestions and hands-on refining. Returning, however is optional.
  • Make It Happen – This level of service is for clients that do not have the time and/or desire to organize their spaces.  There is heavy input and feedback from the client, but a majority of the work is done by us.  We make it happen and in turn, make you happy.  We can schedule periodic maintenance, as well.

Can you help me donate my unwanted items?

Absolutely. We can help arrange appointments for donations of large items such as furniture, and are happy to take one car load of donations to Goodwill, The Habitat Store or The Durham Rescue Mission Thrift Store.  We will provide you with a tax receipt for every donation.

How / When do I pay? 

Payment for organizing services is due upon completion of services.  Goldenrod Place Interiors accepts cash, checks or credit cards.
